For anyone who was having this problem, I have fixed it. I believe it is a faulty mouse/usb cable.
I fixed the cursor problem by using the usb connector instead of the PS/2 connector. I then set gpm to use imps2 /dev/input/mice, with repeat set to raw. Then in X I set it to use ImPS/2 and /dev/gpmdata I also installed usb manager which beeps whenever the usb device is connected or disconnected. While using my mouse it occasionally gets a couple of beeps (ie. disconnects and then reconnects). I am guessing that because it was using ps/2 it was unable to reconnect.
